Just before 3am on January 24th,when Britain was preoccupied with surviving the Blitz, the body of Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll, was discovered lying on the floor of his Buick, at a road intersection some miles outside Nairobi, with a bullet in White Mischief head. A leading figure in Kenya's colonial community, he had recently been appointed Military Secretary, but he was prim Just before 3am on January 24th, White Mischief, when Britain was preoccupied with surviving the Blitz, the White Mischief of Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll, was discovered lying White Mischief the floor of his Buick, at a road intersection some miles outside Nairobi, with a bullet in his head. A leading figure in Kenya's colonial community, he had recently been White Mischief Military Secretary, but he was primarily a seducer of other men's wives. Sir Henry Delves Broughton, whose wife was Erroll's current conquest, had an obvious motive for the murder, but no one was ever convicted and the question of who killed him became a classic mystery, a scandel and cause celebre. Among those who became fascinated with the Erroll case was Cyril Connolly. After Connolly's death James Fox inherited the obsession and a commitment to continue in pursuit of the story both in England and Kenya in the late s. One day, on a veranda overlooking the Indian Ocean, Fox came across a piece of evidence that seemed to bring all the fragments and pieces together and convinced him that he saw a complete picture.

It is exactly that bonkers hot-house atmosphere where no affectation is too extreme, no level of snobbery too great. Everybody knows everybody else; life revolves around the club; servants are silent and self-effacing and know better to have White Mischief about anything. There's a sort of uncanny valley in reading about the murder of Josslyn Hay, Earl of Erroll and High Constable of White Mischief, where I kept getting yanked up short by, No, White Mischief author White Mischief have done a better job with this character, because he was a real person and his unsatisfactoriness is historical. It all seems so artificial and implausible--but the artifice is created, not by an author, but by the characters themselves. It doesn't help that I kept thinking of Sheri S. Tepper's brilliant Grasseither. White Mischief book has one of my favorite structures: an investigator many years later trying to hunt down the truth about a murder, teasing bits of it out of surviving witnesses, tracking down leads in documents, experiencing horripilating moments of serendipity. Fox's narrative is even a matryoshka doll of investigations, because in he's re-investigating the work he did with Cyril Connolly in investigating, ina murder that took place in I don't think he's quite good enough as a writer to pull the thing off as the tour de force it ought to be, so the characters stay rather jumbled and it's hard to pick out where the moments of epiphany should hit like blows. Even the one at the end, when Fox discovers that the witness who knows who murdered Erroll was someone Connolly talked to in and just didn't push quite hard enough, he mutes a little, mumbles a little. Form mirrors content; Fox White Mischief determined to maintain an atmosphere of White Mischief reticence even when he's dragging ugly festering White Mischief out into the light of day--and even when it's brutally apparent that there was nothing "well-bred" about the behavior of the victim, the murderer, or any of the suspects. May 04, Hannah rated it liked it Shelves: readsnon-fiction White Mischief, true-crime. White Mischief didn't quite live up to the can't-look-away- from-that-car-wreck that was so evident within the White Mischief of The Bolterbut it wasn't without it's moments. What generally didn't engage me was the writing style, which was flat and didn't flow smoothly from start to finish. A true, unsolved murder mystery featuring an earl, his mistress, her husband, a world war, and a tight-knit little group of priviledged colonials should have made for riveting reading, but it was mostly sluggish going, and sometimes hard to follow. Giving it a 3 because I White Mischief stop reading it, but would love to find a better book White Mischief the subject. Thank you! One of my all time favorite television shows is Heat of the Sun which was shown in the United States as part of Mystery White Mischief Masterpiece Mystery. It starred Trevor Eve as a London policeman who was re-assigned to Kenya in between wars. He clashed not only with his superior but also with the upper crust. Luckily for him, he had White Mischief good Sergeant who was a dead shot, and a pilot who was Disclaimer: ARC provided by the publisher Open Road Media via Netgalley in exchange for a fair review. Luckily for him, he had a good Sergeant who was a dead shot, and a pilot who was also his romantic interest. In short, the three stars were great. The first episode of Heat of the Sun seems to draw on this murder. White Mischief is a two part story. The first concerns that of Jossyln Hay, Lord Erroll and his murder. This part covers the trial of the man accused of the murder as well as Kenya at the time. The first half of the book is the strongest. Think soap opera. Think Downton Abbey with more White Mischief, drugs, and liquor. And lions. This part is told as straight forward narrative. Part of the charm is the drop in guest stars — Karen Blixen appears more than once, Beryl Markham and others make appearances. Fox does his best to make Erroll if not likable White Mischief least acceptable as a human being. The reporting tone allows for distant and White Mischief story is compelling, most because the people are truly characters. There is the woman with the pet lion, White Mischief feather game, and the social clubs. Did you know that mayor of Nairobi was a woman at this time? Neither did I. What Fox is doing is setting the stage, allowing the reader to see the people, the characters, for who they White Mischief were, or at least seemed to be. This is necessary because the second part of the book depends on these character studies and gossip stories. There is a bit of jumping around and at times there are digressions. Some of these digressions are interesting, some not so much. One of the most interesting is the appearance of Antonia Fraser and her comments about the case. The writing style also changes slightly. It is less engrossing, more laid back. What Fox does very well in this section almost better than proving his thesis of whom the murder was is make Connolly sound like a man I wish I could meet. Recommended for those interest in murder mysteries, true crime, White Mischief, and In the Heat of the Sun.
